Who: Kate Bishop and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Lavandula + the Iskaulit.
When: Today

Ow, for futz sake -- [ the feed is shaky, at first -- as though the device and its owner has just fallen from some middling height. but it soon settles steady on an image of kate bishop -- bruised, dirty, but ultimately fine. although she's stubbornly wearing purples more often alligned with the spirit faction, she has alligned herself quite naturally with moxie -- deigning to at least braid white and gold ribbons into her black hair. sitting up on the poorly terra-formed ground, the feed reveals she's dressed in a superbly tailored hawkeye costume made from strong fabrics and flattering lines.

over her shoulder looms lavandula's tower. the intrepid young avenger followed the trills of a mysterious and now finds she herself thoroughtly defeated by the tower's bizarre internal architecture. this isn't the first time she's taken a tumble.

grumpily: ] This place is worse than a funhouse. [ ... ] Paging any and all Fleet folk -- anyone manage to track down this freaky-deaky flute music on Lavandula? All I'm finding are doors shut in my face. Not loving it.

[ LATER, she's back at the rehabilitation centre. she pays her modest fee and gets herself patched up -- bandages and all. so, once she takes a shuttle back to the iskaulit and shows up for work at málum, she's still looking a little worse for wear. take pity on her, málum patrons, because her usual bartender flair is suddenly subdued: she's got one arm in a sling. she'll still serve you, though. and with a smile! ...probably. ]

Uh - how about not following it before the whole Blair Witch Project starts and our devices will blackout and then we'll get eaten?

[ kate, please. ]

You think I can't take the Blair Witch? [ a crooked smile. ] Oh, ye of little faith.

Kate? What happened?

[ with a puff of air, she blows a long strand of hair off her face. ]

I climbed. I fell. The weird gravity made the fall not so bad, though -- [ she can feel a sprain in her arm, but that's nothing new. ]

Is anything broken? Do you want me to come over and check? I have x-ray vision, you know.

[ x-ray vision, sure, but: ]

How's your First Aid certification?

[ kate's teasing. honest. ]

You know you don't have to come in like that. Or better yet, I know someone you could see to get it fixed up.

[Kate and Adalwolfe have overlapping shifts today, Wolfe much more upbeat than he was last month, and all to do with Anders waking up. He's been a giant goober about it, honestly, even humming and whistling at intervals when he cleans or pours drinks.]

Anders is a healer you know. And I could get the bruises and scrapes for you; my healing is good enough for that at least.

Current.

[ the DEO surely made her go over the basics ]

[ -- watch with awe and amazement as she grips a wine bottle with her good arm and works the cork free with her teeth. determination at work, ladies and gents! ]

Pshaw, [ she scoffs around the stopped stuck between her teeth, ] these aren't bruises and scrapes. These are badges.

[ she's teasing. mostly. kate's never had the healing factor boasted by many of her teammates -- so she doesn't always play well with the prospect of 'healing magic'. even so, she appreciates the offer. ]

I really am okay. [ ... ] Promise. But I wouldn't mind some company for the walk back.

[ she knows you can get there all super-fly-fast after all. ]

Okay.

I'll be right over.

[ and she is there super-fly-fast!! ]

What did you even do to break your arm?

[He accepts her good-natured rejection of healing. She's already been patched up and in no danger, and he's well aware of some people's distrust of magic or even the idea of getting too used to magical healing and not being able to naturally heal as well without it. He's a little dubious about that one, but he's not a Circle mage and so he doesn't have all of the same book learning as other mages do.

He reaches over for the bottle and pours the glasses as intended.]

Must have been some fight.

[ and kate is unmistakable: a blob of purple against the dreary landscape. she's on her feet, now, just outside the tower. one arm is treated more gingerly than the other.

she raises her good arm to hail supergirl. ]

Not really. Not unless you call a tussle with some rock-hard ground a fight. [ and luckily the arm's just a bad sprain -- not that she hasn't dealt with broken bones in the past.

could be worse. she could be like clint, prone to six-week stays in the hospital. ]

I was down on that meditation moon. There's, like, this spooky tower? Just outside the settlement borders?

[ Kara lands and walks toward Kate ]

Can I at least scan it?

[ if winn looks like crap, well, that's cuz that's about how he feels, the past month has been rough on him. ]

It looks like your face got really well acquainted with those doors. Are you ok?

I'm golden. [ a hapless smile. ] Nothing an ice-pack and a long shower can't fix.

[ and stitches. and maybe some salves. ]

-- You?

[ 'cause you somehow look worse than her, dude. just in a different way. ]

Sure. Go to town -- [ she doesn't lift the arm, but she does turn her body. ] I know what broken bones feel like. It's not broken. More likely sprained? Possibly dislocated.

Next time, see your tech-support before the quest.

[ rubbing the back of his head in his signature discomfort move ]

Haven't walked into anything all day.

Well, I'll be able to see if it's dislocated.

[ she lowers her glasses (why does she still wear them here???) and squints, checking the whole arm. hopefully not giving her cancer! what's the verdict? ]

[ she likes trying to solve a problem with her own muscle and sinew before she rings tech-support. it's a whole thing. ]

I'm okay. Honest. I've been worse after field-hockey matches. Y'know, when I still bothered to play.

[ please no cancer kara.

-- but, yeah. there's a sprain along the forearm. her shoulder is certainly dislocated, and that's probably the main source of her pain. not that she wears it on her sleeve. ]

[ she makes a face. it may be slightly judgy ]

Shoulder's dislocated. What were you doing?

I feel like that's more of a testament to how you play field hockey.

[ but he's not really fretting like he would have before winter and sascha and all these comas. maybe he's starting to toughen up. you know, just a little. ]

How's the suit working out for you? It's looking good.

Not a scratch or a pull. [ she pulls the device back far, and holds it above so it displays a tight angle image of as much of the outfit as possible. ] It's come through this in better shape than me. So I guess you do some pretty good work, Mister Schott.
